Prospect Mount Prospect, Illinois Gentlemen: On February 20, 1956, I wrote to you concerning the need for additiona.L school sites for School District No. 57, and requested your cooperation in securing dedications from subdividers to help meet these urgent needs. Since that tiTLe, it occurs to me that there may be cases in which dedications are required from subdividers in areas which are not adjacent to the sites referred to in my letter or February 20. In some of these cases, it is possible that a dedication of small isolated tracts of land would not be in the public interest and a cash dedication might be in order. If there are such situations, the Board of Education of School District No. 57 1rlould appreci8. te it if you would give con- sideration to the possibility of making such cash dedic8.tions availabJ.e for use in assisting in the purchase of the previously mentioned school sites. In this way it will be possible to use the available resources for the purchase or lands for public use in the most advantageou.s locations.

Appleby Village Manager Hunicipal Building Mount Prospect, Illinois Re: Centralwood Subdivision C. T. & A. #55-285 Dear Mr. Appleby: Confirming our telephone conversation of last week in connection vdth the installation of street and all3Y ra vements in the subject development, our Resident Engineer, Mr. John H. Feddersen, con- ferred with Milburn Brothers, Inc. about the possibility of in- stalling a standard bituminous concrete pavement with combined curb and gutter in place of the type or pavement set forth on the plans approved by the Village Board. The proposed alleys you will recall provide for the construction of a four (4) foot wide Port- land cement concrete gutter located in the center of the pavement with the pavement crown such that all storm water run-off from said pavement would be collected and disposed of in the single gutter. In our opinion the standard type pavement with curb and gutter on either side would be more desirable than that originally specified However, the cost of the more desirable improvement would be some- what higher. Milburn Brothers, Inc. agreed to construct the improvements in accordance with the revision mentioned above for a nominal addition to their contract. Hr. Feddersen contacted 1''11'. Delgado who agreed to these extra charges, and we advised the contractor, after consultation with you, to proceed with the im- provements. loJe feel that the improvements as revised vJill be much more desirab from the Village's point of view and will, we feel quite confident reouire less maintenance cost in the future.
